Feeling guilty about the weather

For three Saturdays in a row, rain has been predicted for Brimson from midweek on.  And every Saturday we've had either sunny weather or a mix of clouds and overcast.  We have been overjoyed as far as we were available to be outdoors most of the day.

Our joy is tempered by the concern that every day of drought increases the fire danger.

I thought on Saturday night that rain had started.  I saw some wet spots on a cart and felt a bit of precipitation on my arms.  Apparently it was only condensation because of the air cooling.

Today was another mixed sun and clouds day.  We got lots done.

The Weather Channel is predicting rain for Thursday and Friday for both Duluth and Brimson.  We don't look forward to the return of mosquitos, but they are better than a charred cabin and woods.
